Cute and geek amigurumi patterns for everyone

I designed Hiroshi for a design contest hosted by Amigurumi Patterns, which had as a theme create an amigurumi animal in a working outfit!! I was very excited to participate!! There were many cute and beautiful designs entries and I fell in love for many of them!!!

It was really fun to think about which animal to create, which profession to choose and how to do my ami! I’m very happy with the result, I love my Sushicat! <3 Sadly, I would like to have done more amigurumis to the contest, but I’m too busy at college >.<

Now, let me introduce you to Hiroshi, my first original character :) He is a japanese cat, who loves to eat and loves salmon. So, one day he took the decision to become a Sushicat and now he can eat how many salmon sushis he desire! He is also very kind and he would love to make some sushis for you! ^_^

Yoko: “Pleease, gimme that sushi!”

Yoko and Hiroshi have become friends and he is making some sushis for her! I hope you also like Hiroshi and if you want to have him with you, here it is the pattern:

1. This pattern uses 100% cotton yarn with a thickness to a 1,75mm hook to make Hiroshi’s Kimono, headband, salmon sushi and salmon makimono. To make Hiroshi it is used a thin fluffy yarn. Here it has some tips of how to work with this kind of yarn: http://crochet.about.com/od/tipstroubleshooting/tp/Eyelash_Yarn_Tips.htm
2. Hiroshi measures 18cm (7 inches) from ears to feet.
3. For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle.
4. His eyes, nose and mouth are made of felt.
5. His whiskers are made of wire painted with white oil paint.
